The 12-month program provides training in sociological theory, research methods, statistics, as well as substantive courses of interest.

Students in the course-based program will complete course requirements in the Fall and Winter terms, and a major research paper in a 6-unit capstone course in the spring and summer terms. Themes and options for the major research paper will be established by the capstone course instructor(s), in consultation with students during their first two terms of study.
